1 Fitting Information

1.1 Deciding the best position

Points to consider when planning your installation

The system Silent Gliss 5090 may trigger some typesof burglar alarm. This may usually be remedied byrelocation of, or a change of burglar alarm sensor. If indoubt, consult your burglar alarm supplier.

It may be easiest to have the power supply on thesame side of the window as the nearest plug socket.

You might choose to position the power supply so thatit is not visible and not touchable.The transformer should not be placed where there is arisk of condensation dripping onto it from a window sillor used in damp environments such as bathrooms.

When fixing avoid any hidden cabling in wall. If in doubt consult aqualified electrician.

Tools for fixing

Your system track is ready assembled for easy fixing. Your track packcontains everything you need to fix the track to a wooden batten. Iffixing directly to a wall or ceiling, appropriate fixings; e.g. wall plugs willalso be needed.


Bracket position

Draw a level line on the ceiling,wall or batten at the height youwish to position the track.Ask your supplier about theappropriate kind of bracket.

Note: The distance* depends on the kind of curtain used. Check thatnothing disturbs the curtain for example: radiator, window handle etc.
